Steven:

Here in the deep South, I have been called a Humanist too.

I think this dates back to the Secular Humanist epic of the Fundies, when anything not directly supporting the adoption of fundamentalist ideals across society was called "secular humanism."

Being a physician, I always like it when they call me that. To them it is derisive, to me it is a compliment. If you are a good person, work from the facts, and are generally kind to those around you, you probably represent a "religion", based on education, that scares them to death.

Always glad to have another Humanist around.

I could make a very crude comment about that, but this isn't the over-18 area.
I suppose I could fake the foaming -- all it takes is a little hydrogen peroxide. The psychotic expression comes naturally.
